Next resignation:

Me stepping down as a nouveau kernel maintainer – https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/nouveau/2025-February...

Jeez, take your pills.

That's purely a problem of Rust being wrong.

Floats have a total order, Rust people just decided to not use it.

Java virtual threads shipped between 2021 (preview) and 2023 (final).

Yeah an 8 year old benchmark doesn't mean much, both languages/platforms surely have evolved greatly and I would not surprised that on many meaningful workloads there is some parity.

Stockholm syndrome. You know ... normal people in normal projects would just fix the bugs?

> Why is it a good thing that Elm doesn’t get frequent updates? First of all, it means your code will last a long time! It also means the language is very stable, because features are carefully thought out before being implemented.

What an absolute clown car.

Actually I think that's a reasonable stance. Not everyone wants to use the newest and greatest JavaScript framework which is will be completely reworked in six months because there's a need for a newer and greatester version. The speed of evolution of JavaScript frameworks is amazing, yet they're all still worse thought out than Elm.

On the other hand, this comment shows the clown car of HN discourse: everything that doesn’t make the trade offs that you want is a literal dumpster fire end of discussion.

Nah, I think it's fine.

> my memory from the pre 0.19 days of Elm tells me that this made for a worse experience overall

My memory tells me that 0.19 literally killed the language.

As is often the case with one's memory, it bears a grain of truth but distorts reality. I've been using Elm 0.19 for side projects and enjoy it.

Not much has changed, no worries.

Hah, thanks! A nice counterpoint to the person who said otherwise. And especially to the person who seems to think that I must have some sort of brain damage to be concerned.

One way Scala experts deal with people disagreeing with them is to contact those peoples' employers/universities, maybe you should revise your profile accordingly.

Come on, this is FUD. You're talking about one or two guys who got into an enormous personal fight years back and were condemned by everyone else.

Who condemned Martin? Sources please.

> From my POV Elm stands as a serious challenge to the entire JS ecosystem.

Lol, OK. Spoken like a cultist. Bad news for you: It's not going to happen.
